In spite of phe nomenally large votes In New York and Kings county for Bird S. Coler (dem.) the return up to a late bour Indicate the re election of Benjamin J. Odell (rep.) to the governorship of New York atate by from 6,000 to 9.000. Coler'a plurality In Greater New York exceeded 116.000. a aurplus of 3,000 above the claim made by Cbarlea F. Murphy, leader of Tammany hall, but even that large vote wss not aufflclent to over come the republican majorities from up the state. Odell's vote in the country districts waa lighter than two years ago, but Coler's was also lower than Stsnchfleld's. In New York cjty Coler's plurality was approximately 117,500, made up as follows: New York county, S3, 000; Kings county, 26,500; Queens. 1,500, and Richmond, 2,800. Oyster Bay, where President Roosevelt's country home is situated, and where he voted today, was carried by Coler, his plurality being 131. Two years ago Odell's plurality was 12. Revised figures received up to 2:45 a. ra. take Odell's plurality In the atate 11.240. ALABAMA MONTGOMERY. Ala., Nov. 4. Alabama democrats today returned a solid demo cratic dalewaioa-to eongre,.ond xe-elctl Governor William D. Jelks by a majority of 25,000 ever J. W. Smith (rep.). The negro voters remained away from the polls, ths republican state convention having proclaimed a "Illy white party." The vote was very light. ARKANSAS LITTLE ROCK. Ark.. Nov. 4. Less than CO per cent of the normal vote was polled in the election tor congressmen in Arkansas today. All the seven democratic nominees were elected by majorities ranging from 1,000 to 8.000. In six districts there were republican nominations. In some placea the negro voters re mained away from the polla. Rains and confidence of a democratic victory seemed to keep many votera at borne. At tbe elec tion in September last, for state, county and township officers, the vote was 121.000. The total vote today will hardly exceed 60,000. CALIFORNIA SAN rRANClSCO. Nov. 4. Only a few scattering returns have been received from the city and state. These indicate that tbe governorship is very doubtful. Lans (dem.) la running ahead of his ticket. He will carry ths city of Saa Francisco by 10.000 plurality aLd la developing strength throughout the state. The legislature will probably be repub lican. Tbe vote on congressmen in the Fourth and Fifth districts Is close. Re turns at hand indicate that Kahn (rep.) will be elected by, a amal plurality. In the Fifth district Loud (rep.) is run ning behind In tbe strong labor districts In this city. In the Second district the returns Indicate the probable defeat of Combs (rep.). COLORADO DENVER. Colo.. Nov. 4 Returns from the state Indicate that Colorado baa elected a full republican ticket by small majorities. This la conceded by leading democrats though not by Chairman Smith. The dem ocratic congressional candidates are claimed to have run ahead of their ticket and one or more of thera may be elected. The legislature will undoubtedly be dem ocratic on Joint ballot, as there are seven teen democratic bold-over senators. This Insures the return of Henry M. Teller to the I'nited States senate. The democratic county ticket in Arapa hoe county is elected by from 2.006 to 4.000. It Is believed the constitutional amend ment consolidating the city of Denver and the county of Arapahoe aad giving the riiy boms rule haa been adopted, while the Australian land tax amendment baa been defeated. CONNECTICUT NEW HAVEN, Conn.. Nov. 4 Connecti cut today elected the full republican ticket for stata offices, and all the Ova republican candidatea for congresa. Returns received from 150 of the 168 towns in the state, not including tbe important citlea of New Haven, Hartford. Bridgeport and Water bury, indicated that the plurality for Cham berlain, republican candidate tor governor, would bo at least 15.000, an Increass of 1.000 over tmo years ago. The lepubllcaa candidate for congress man at large. George Lilly, la elected by approximately the same plurality, while the four congressional districts are also re publican by aafa figures. The state legislature will be republican, thus Insuring the retura of O. H. Piatt to the I'nited Stales senate. The greatest surprise lo the election waa tbe vol of New Haven, ebich, though normally a dem ocratic city. has. according to official re- WIN fROM EAST TO WEST He-suits of the election f hrmicliout the country yesterday show that the a dm ill liit ration of I'lvsltlt-nt Itoosevrlt and the republican party la well ap proved by tbe iteopK The next congTVss will lie republican in both btaucliee by m pood working majority, thus Insuring a continuation of the Kdicy of that party.

In Iowa the republican leaders aecoti e fact that the plurality for that party is only 70,i"i by saying thai ' due to the lack of Interest on part of tbe voters In the election. In l Third Iowa district, where Horace Boies was running for congress, the republi can majority Is reduced somewhat, but Boles Is lieaten. Tbe vote in the econd Iowa district will be close, but all the other districts are republican by safe majorities. Colorado has elected the entire republican state ticket by small but safe majorities. From all states come reports of republican victories. turns, returned a plurality for the repub lican state ticket. NEW HAVEN. Conn.. Nov. 4 The demo cratic state organization conceded the elec tion of the entire republican ticket In Con necticut, with the general assembly safely republican on joint ballot. With complete returns from 140 of the 168 towns In Connecticut, the republican plurality Is conservatively estimated at 15,000. DELAWARE WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 4. In addition to the evident election of Buckmaster, in the first representative district, the demo crats have also elected their candidatea In the Fourth and Fifth representative dis tricts. Both districts were represented by democrsts In the last legislature. This gives them three of tbe five districts In Wilmington. George W. Sparks, regular republican, who waa endorsed by the democrats, Is no doubt elected in the fifth senatorial dis trict of Wilmington over James W. Rob ertson, union republican. James P. Jones, (union republican). Is apparently elected In the Second repre sentative district of Wilmington. He is the only Addlcks republican to be elected In tbe city. There are two senatorial dis tricts and five representative districts in Wilmington. In the Second senatorial dis trict Frank P. McNulty. democrat, holds over. The returns from the state below Wil mington are coming In slowly. GEORGIA ATLANTA. Ga.. Nov. 4. Georgia today elected a solid delegation of eleven demo cratic rorgressmen. So little interest wee taken in the election that the figures In the eleven districts were not collated to night. Except In the Seventh district, the democrats had no oppoaltion and In that district It was Inconsequential. The vote polled was very light. The election waa for congressmen cnly. v FLORIDA JACKSONVILLE, FLA.. Not. 4. A light vote waa polled throughout the state. Con gressmen Sparkmsn and Davis are re elected from the First and Second dis tricts without opposition. Attorney W. B. Lamar la elected In the new Third dis trict. There Is no opposition to the demo cratic ticket, state or congressmen. The legislature elected today will, elect United States Senator Mallory, to succeed himself, he already having been nominated by primary. The proposed constitutional amendment providing for three new members of the supreme bench was carried. ILLINOIS CHICAGO. Nov. 4.-Meager return, pre vented anything like an accurate state ment of tbe result In Illinois, although here Is every Indication that the repub lican ticket ha sbeen elected by a good majority. The next legislature will be re publican without a doubt and the suc cessor to United States Senator Mason is certain to be a republican. In the Sixth congressional district, where ex-Congressman William Lorimer has been making a desperate fight to recover the position be lost in the last election, the contest is exceedingly close. Lorimer with two-thirds of his district to hear from had a lead of forty-one votes, and it will be impossible to arrive at the result be fore tomorrow. The fight in (be Third district Is also very close, but Wilson, tbe republican has a lead of 200. with half of his district yet to report. The chances are that he will win. In Chicago the election was full of sur prise. The republicsns triumphed in dem ocrstlc strongholds and the democrats re turned the compliment in tbe fullest meas ure. The head of the republican ticket, Buxr, the candidate for nat. trA. v.. ried Chicago and the county' of Cook " pyrunniaieiy n.ttoo, and at tbe as me time Barrett, tbe democratic candidate for sheriff, has undoubtedly beaten the re publican nominee by about 16.000.

INDIANA INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Nov. 4 -Indiana went republican today by from 23.000 to 40.000. The congreasional delegation re maina the same, with nine republicans and four democrats. The legislature will be about twenty-Ore on Joint ballot and Sen ator Cbarlea W. Fairbanks will be re elected to tbe lulled States senate. Throughout the state the republican leg ialatlve ticket led the local candidate. This waa due to ths strength of I'nited States Senator Fairbanks, whose re-election depended upon the result, and whose strong campaign added much to tbe chances of republican victory. At midnight 800 precincts la the state, outside of Marion county (Indisnapolisi! show a republican gala of 2.740. which would carry the slat by 40.000.

SIXTEEN MAJORITY IN REPRESENTATIVES Desnorrats Gala Thirteen Seats, hot Fall to Sera re Coatrol of I.e--Islatloa la Spite of Hard Fighting;. WASHINGTON. Nov. 4 Although the returns from the doubtful congressional districts were alow In arriving, the Indi cations at midnight were that the repub licans would control the next house of rep resentatives by a narrow margin. In the present house, with a membership of 357. the republicans have forty-eight majority. Vnder the new apportionment the Fifty eighth house will consist of 88 members, a majority of which is 194. The thirteen southern ststes. not counting West Vir ginia, but including Missouri, hsve 125 rep resentatives. The democrats have carried 118 of these districts and the republicans probably five, two tn Tennessee, one In Kentucky and two in Missouri, with two In North Carolina and one in Virginia. To obtain a majority In the next house it was necessary, therefore, for the democrats to secure seventy-eight votes in the north and west. In this territory they have at pres ent fifty-two representatives. The latest returns Indicate that this strength has been held with the exception of one seat each from Idaho, Montana and Nevada, as to which the returns at this hour are In conclusive. Adding 49 to 116 gives the democrats 165. The democrats show they have made a gain of three la Pennsylvania, one In Ne braska, one In Delaware, one in Wiscon sin, two In Maryland, one in Colorado and probably four in New York, swelling the total to 178. This leaves them sixteen short of a majority, Ub the .result In four doubtful southern districts (o be heard from and doubtful districts tn the north and west front which the returns are as as yet inadequate, as follows: West Vir ginia. !: Ohio. 1; Indiana, 2; Illinois, 2; Iowa, 1; Nebraska, 1; Kansas, 1; Minne sota, 2; Michigan. 1; California, 2. and Utah, 1, a total of 21. Returns at 1 o'clock add one democrat In New Jersey, one In Minnesota, one in Illinois, one in Alabama and two In North Carolina, a total of six. But two of tbe gains credited to tbe democrat In Penn sylvania should properly be set down as fusion republicans, making tbe democrats actually elected 184, with the doubtful dis tricts In Minnesota having gone demo cratic, tbe one in Kansaa republican, Kan sas hsvlog gone solidly republican and the one in Iowa republican. Three of the four doubtful southern districts went demo cratic. REPUBLICANS HAVE SENATE win Receive Majority of Sixteen at Least aad Possibly Eighteen. WASHINGTON. Not. 4 The next United States senate will be republican by at least 16 majority, against the present majority of 20. The present senate containa fifty four republicans and thirty-four democrats in a total of ninety seats, there being two vscancles from Delaware, where the re publican legislature failed to elect. The terms of thirty senators expire with the present congress. There is also a vacancy from Michigan, cauaed by the death of Senator McMillan. Of these thirty-one seata to be filled, not including the two from Delaware, but In cluding the McMillan vacancy, nineteen are now republican and twelve are democratic, Wellington of Maryland being classified as a republican and Harris of Kansas. Mc Laurin of South Carolina and Teller of Colorado as democrats. Seven states have already elected sena tors to take their seats March 4, 1903. Maryland has chosen Gorman, a democrat, to aucceed Wellington, a republican; Ken tucky, McCreary. a democrat, to succeed Ieboe, a republican; loma has re-elected Allison, a republican: Ohio has re-elected Foraker, a republican: Louisiana baa re elected McEDery. a democrat; Vermont has re-elected Dillingham, republican, and Georgia today re-elected Clay, a democrat. Four democrats and three republicans, therefore, "are already elected, leaving six teen republican and eight democratic aeats to be filled. The legislature la Oregon, which will choose a successor to Simon, has been elected and is ' republican. In cluding Delaware, therefore, twenty-five senstors mill be elected by the legislatures chosen today. Of tnese the republicans have surely car ried thirteen. Indiana. New u.,,,v. North Dakota. South Dakota. Illinois. Penn- I sylvanla. t alifornia. Connecticut. New York. Michigan. Kansas. Wisconsin and Washing ton. and the democrats seven, vlx. : North Carolina. Delaware (probably), Arkansas. South Csroltna. Florida. Alabama and Mis souri. This insures fifty-two republicans and thirty-four democrats la the next senate. The result of the contests Is still in doubt in Nevada. Idaho. Utah and Colorado, with the chances favoring the election of demo cratic legislatures in Colorado. Idaho and Nevada, and a republicaa legislature in Utah. If these probabilities should be realised, the senate will stand fifty-three republicans and thirty-seven democrats, with a loss of four majority to tbe repub licans compared with the present political division.

It was only a raw wind that made elec tion night disagreeable, but the crowd on the streets was not abnormal nor particu larly demonstrative. In fact, considering how repeatedly the district has been as sured that the retirement of David Henry Mercer would be a great and eternal ca lamity, the people seemed to bear up with remarkable fortitude when his defeat be came generally conceded. Bulletins favorable to Mickey were cheered, and so were those favorable to Thompson, but the one kind followed the other tn such constant succession that the crowd soon realized that definite results would not be forthcoming before the morn ing, and the midnight cars carried home all but the Hitchcock celebrants and tbo young man who likes to stay up just for tbe novelty of the thing. The republican county headquarters were crowded all evening, as special reports by telegraph and telephone were being re ceived there. Special reports wero being received at the state fusion headquarters at tbe Dellone, but the crowd there was only a baker's dozen or two and news meager. Cliff Cole had installed a special telegraphic service and was making up his bets from the bulletins received. The Jacksonlsn club and County Democ racy quarters were comfortably filled, but there was "nothing doing." as one of them had tried the special returns service in years gone by and quit $37 loser by the deal. The Mercer organ, which at 4 o'clock had declared Mercer elected, distinguished itself by a punctilious flop five hours later and conceded that "it looked like Hitchcock." During the evening there were many whose hats were on one aide and probably won't fit at all this morning, but there was no exchange of physical discourtesies. Neither had there been any arrests during tbe day. The railroad colonizers sent two men to East Omaha as "feelers," but when they found four sheriff's deputies there and were put through a cross-examination that unearthed their history back to tbe fourth generation of ancestry tbey carried back to the grading camps a report that resulted In no more attempts being made. VENEZUELA REBELS CRUSHED Government Report Final Victory aad Consequent End of Revolution. . CARACA6, Venetaela, 3!ot. 4. The gov ernment reports a decisive victory over the revolutionists last week. ' , Government troops dislodged" the rebels from, their , last stronghelo..at Pipe.--nsr San Mateo, alx miles from La Victoria, The revolutionary leaders, Rolando Terres, and others have been r scattered and the disbanded rebel army passed through Villa De Cura last 6unda? night. The rebel general, Rlera Is reported killed. The victory claimed by the government was celebrated in Caracas yesterday with salvos of artillery, fireworks snd the ring ing of church bells. The governments declares the revolution ended by this victory and aays peace haa been secured in Venezuela. WASHINGTON. Nov. 4. Upon complaint from United States, Consular Agent Ignaclo Baize, at Barcelona, Venezuela, that he had been subjected to a forced loan, the cruiser Marietta has been sent to Guanto. The consular agent has suffered before from extortion during the progress of the rebellion in Venezuela, and has been re lieved as a result of the Intervention of tbe State department. COLOMBIA EMPLOYS DIVERS Americans at Work striving: to Raise Caaboat Sank hy Revola. tlonlal. PANAMA, Nov. 4. There Is much satis faction in government circles over Rear Admiral Casey's decision to allow the transportation of government troops across tbe isthmus on special cars. Large num bers of Colombian soldiers are at present encamped along the railroad line. A survey Is being made of the sunken steamer Lautarao, in order to see if it can be raised. This work is In charge of an American engineer from California, who is being aided by four expert divers, also Americans. The divers are the same men who were employed by United States au thoritlea in raising Isla De Luzon and other Spanish gunboats after the battle of Manila Bay. The steamer Lautarao belonged to tbe South American Steamship company. It was seized by the Colombian government and sunk by the revolutionary gunboat Padilla on January 20. WAR IS AGAIN THREATENED Troop ton let with Civil Authorities la tbe Town of Port a a Prlare. PORT AU PRINCE. Nov. 4. A troop of 100 Fourhardists mhlcu entered the capital yesterday, returning from the campaign against General Flrmin, had a conflict with the civil authorities. There was heavy firing during all the night. Seven persons were killed and many vers wounded. Tbe situation is grave, threatening s new civil war. The disorders continued during the day, another conflict occurring before tbe na tional bank at 11 o'clock. There were sev eral victims. The entire population is very much alarmed and the foreigners are claim ing protection. It is believed that the arri val of General Nord with 10,000 men, which Is ezpected within the next few days, will put an end to tbe disturbances.

DAVE MERCER In Poujrlns county party lines were almost obliterated at the xl!s yes terday as a result of the republican revolt against Mercer and tlie other candidates on the republican ticket snMVrod with him, aud in udditimi were victims of his desperate attempt to trade every one else off to save liiinwlf. Mercer, republican for congress Is badly beaten by Hitchcock, democrat, by a majority through the district which, when completely tabulated will run upward of l.Otio and may reach J... "(. For governor. Mickey was seriously cut and Thompson, his democratic opponent will carry tbe county by a majority approximating l.snn. Re publican candidates for other offices will fare Utter thau the head of the ticket. At the hour of Koing to press, no sufficient data are at hand to Justify estimates on candidates for legislature and county attorney. Apiarently the rote Is clot-e ami a mixed legislative delegation probable. The school board election In Omaha seems to have been carried by tbe republicans. MICKEY GAINS IN STATE Betmrni Indicate Average of Three More to Precinct Than Dietrich. HEAVY FALLING OFF IN THE TOTAL VOTE It Ratio Indicated by Present Retnrns Is Malatnlned Mickey Will Come to DooaJa with 4.SOO Majority. At 2 o'clock returns were still decidedly Incomplete, but represented prsctlcally si) portions of the state, and can reason - sbly be taken to represent the trend of the voting. They show a net gain of prac tically Ave to the precinct for Mr. Mickey over the majority given for Dietrich in these same precincts two years ago. If this ratio of gain continues throughout Mr. Mickey will come to Douglas county with a plurality of about 7.650. At 11:45 p. m. Chairman Charles B. Scott of the democratic state committee said: "Eighty-two precincts outside Douglas county show a net democratic gain of three to the precinct over the vote of 1900. Es timating that Douglas county will give Thompson 1.E00 majority and that that rate of gain continues, Tbompscn will be elected by from 6,000 to 10,000. Hitchcock Is safely 1.500 to the good, and Robinson will be elected congressman from the Third dis trict by a much larger majority than here tofore. The vote, as anticipated, shows a falling off of about 124 per cent from that of two years ago. County and Number Thomp- Die- Poyn of Precinct Mickey, son. irich. ter.

REPUBLICAN STRONGHOLDS DEMOCRATIC Hi Unlimited Boodle Tnnd. Availi Our Dare Nothing. GOVERNOR IN OMAHA CLOSE TO CONGRESS Too Early to Give Any Dellnltr FIb ares oa the Contest Rrtneeu Other Candldnte on the Ticket. In Omaha the fight against the attempt of the combined corporations to foist Da vid II. Mercer upon this district for a fclxth term in congrees hss resulted in the oveimbelming defeat Of the nonresident and the election of G. M. Hitchcock, dem ocratic candidate, by a plurality that will reach betweeu l,20ti and 1.600 this In a district that tno years ago gave Mercer 1.600 plurality. Mercer's local newspsper orpan conceded his opponent's election early in the evening. Despite the lavish expenditure of barrels of boodle, the revolt against Mercer as serted Itself all over hi district and re publican strongholds have given msjorltlea for his democratic opponent. The Fifth ward in Omaha, for example, that gave Mercer 177 majority m 1900. this year gives Hitchcock a majority of 154. Upturns from fifty-four, or more than half the precincts in Douglas county, ex clusive of South Omaha, trive Mercer 6.183 as against 5.532 for Hitchcock, when the same precincts two years ago gave Mercer 7.356 as against G.Of.5 for Edgar Howard. In other word, in these precincts, mostly republican, the majority for Mercer in 1900 of 1,301 has been transformed Into a ma jority for his opponent of 350. Three wards of South Omaha, tbe democratic strong bold, already heard from, but not Included In these figures, lve Hitchcock a majority of 185. While considerably lighter than It waa two years ago, the vote on governor seems to follow that on congressman, Mickey (rep.) running If anything behind Mercer and Thompson (fua.) running ahead of Hitchcock throughout Douglas county. Fifty precincts completed, exclusive of South Omaha, Bhow 4.557 for Mickey and 6,376 for Thompson, a majority for the democrat! o candidate of Sl, where th same prow rincts In 1900 gave Dietrich (rep.) a major ity of 907. If the same rats ot gain Is maintained, Thompson will have some 1,100 majority In Douglas county. No definite figures are yet obtainable on other offices. The vote on many promises to be so close a to require complete re turns to tell which are elected. Blsrkssrs Hope Against Hope. Shortly after midnight, when Chairman Blackburn of tbe Mercer congressional com mittee was about to close his office for the nicbt, he gave Tbe Bee this statement - "Forty-nine precincts of the district. In clusive of Blair and Fontanelle in Wash ington county, give Mercer a majority of 30G. Sarpy county gives Hitchcock a ma jority of 285. reducing Mercer's lead in Sarpy county, and forty-nin precincts In the balance of the district to 21. Our figures satisfy us that Mercer will be elected by about 500 majority, though it may take the official count to settle th contest. We have twenty republican pre cincts and seventeen democratic precincts in the city to hear from. We hav returns from only six of the fourteen country precinct and returns from only three of the South Omaha wards. South Omaha will not go more than 300 against us. The balance of Washington county can be counted on safely for an additional 100 for Mercer's msjority. I concede th defeat of no one." Shortly after 11 o'clock Chairman Goss of the republican county central committee said: "The indication are that the county ticket. Inclusive of the legislative ticket, is elected. There seems to be no such cutting on It as on Mercer and Mickey. Reports would indicate that the vote la the county is about a atandoff between Mickey and Thompson. While not in such close touch with the congressional situa tion aa Is the congressional committee, we do not concede Merr's defeat." Hitchcock's Claim Way 1'p. At midnight Mr. Hitchcock smilingly said goodnight to the friends in his office and started home. His last statement was: "I believe my majority will be nearly t.000. I believe, too, that Thompson will pull through all right, but I have no figures here in my office to baae an estimate on." Two hours earlier he had said: "I believe I have a majority of l.iOO. for 600 of which I am Indebted to South Omaha." The South Omaha calculation he later revised to 50. Vice Chairman West of the democratic county central committee gave this as his final statement for- the nlgbt: "I think Thompson has carried the county by 2.000 to 2,500, but I am not getting direct stste returns and cannot speak tor other counties further than to stand on my first predic tion of a state majority of 10.000 to 15,000. Hitchcock is elected by 1.500 snd the legts lstlv ticket and county attorney will hug that majority very closely. So will Lobeck. but I am not in position to estimate the showing of the other candidates." Merrerile Money Vanishes. Early in the evening tbe little Letting that was dune was at even money, but at 11:30 the board at Cliff Cole's had been decorated with odds of 25 to 10 on Hitch oock. 60 to 30 on Thompson, 60 to 30 oa English, with takers for only the latter two.
